Management Team Page


Despite our open, energetic culture, SparkPeople is a far cry from the stereotypical group of kids starting a dot com company in their garage. Our management team has a wide range of experience working for an impressive collection of companies and organizations, including:

  • Procter & Gamble
  • eBay
  • 5/3 Bank
  • GE Capital
  • NASA
  • Atlanta Olympic Games
  • Arthur Andersen Accounting
  • Eureka! Ranch (innovative product development)
  • University of Chicago
  • Rockwell Automation

The leadership and project management skills learned in these places are invaluable to our present goals. This insight, this knowledge and this experience help us overcome hurdles and anticipate opportunities with an efficiency and speed that most companies cannot match.
